Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the usual miscellaneous features, cleanups, and fixes
  for vfs and individual fses.

  Features:

   - Rename and export helpers that get write access to a mount. They
     are used in overlayfs to get write access to the upper mount.

   - Print the pretty name of the root device on boot failure. This
     helps in scenarios where we would usually only print
     "unknown-block(1,2)".

   - Add an internal SB_I_NOUMASK flag. This is another part in the
     endless POSIX ACL saga in a way.

     When POSIX ACLs are enabled via SB_POSIXACL the vfs cannot strip
     the umask because if the relevant inode has POSIX ACLs set it might
     take the umask from there. But if the inode doesn't have any POSIX
     ACLs set then we apply the umask in the filesytem itself. So we end
     up with:

      (1) no SB_POSIXACL -> strip umask in vfs
      (2) SB_POSIXACL    -> strip umask in filesystem

     The umask semantics associated with SB_POSIXACL allowed filesystems
     that don't even support POSIX ACLs at all to raise SB_POSIXACL
     purely to avoid umask stripping. That specifically means NFS v4 and
     Overlayfs. NFS v4 does it because it delegates this to the server
     and Overlayfs because it needs to delegate umask stripping to the
     upper filesystem, i.e., the filesystem used as the writable layer.

     This went so far that SB_POSIXACL is raised eve on kernels that
     don't even have POSIX ACL support at all.

     Stop this blatant abuse and add SB_I_NOUMASK which is an internal
     superblock flag that filesystems can raise to opt out of umask
     handling. That should really only be the two mentioned above. It's
     not that we want any filesystems to do this. Ideally we have all
     umask handling always in the vfs.

   - Make overlayfs use SB_I_NOUMASK too.

   - Now that we have SB_I_NOUMASK, stop checking for SB_POSIXACL in
     IS_POSIXACL() if the kernel doesn't have support for it. This is a
     very old patch but it's only possible to do this now with the wider
     cleanup that was done.

   - Follow-up work on fake path handling from last cycle. Citing mostly
     from Amir:

     When overlayfs was first merged, overlayfs files of regular files
     and directories, the ones that are installed in file table, had a
     "fake" path, namely, f_path is the overlayfs path and f_inode is
     the "real" inode on the underlying filesystem.

     In v6.5, we took another small step by introducing of the
     backing_file container and the file_real_path() helper. This change
     allowed vfs and filesystem code to get the "real" path of an
     overlayfs backing file. With this change, we were able to make
     fsnotify work correctly and report events on the "real" filesystem
     objects that were accessed via overlayfs.

     This method works fine, but it still leaves the vfs vulnerable to
     new code that is not aware of files with fake path. A recent
     example is commit db1d1e8b9867 ("IMA: use vfs_getattr_nosec to get
     the i_version"). This commit uses direct referencing to f_path in
     IMA code that otherwise uses file_inode() and file_dentry() to
     reference the filesystem objects that it is measuring.

     This contains work to switch things around: instead of having
     filesystem code opt-in to get the "real" path, have generic code
     opt-in for the "fake" path in the few places that it is needed.

     Is it far more likely that new filesystems code that does not use
     the file_dentry() and file_real_path() helpers will end up causing
     crashes or averting LSM/audit rules if we keep the "fake" path
     exposed by default.

     This change already makes file_dentry() moot, but for now we did
     not change this helper just added a WARN_ON() in ovl_d_real() to
     catch if we have made any wrong assumptions.

     After the dust settles on this change, we can make file_dentry() a
     plain accessor and we can drop the inode argument to ->d_real().

   - Switch struct file to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU. This looks like a small
     change but it really isn't and I would like to see everyone on
     their tippie toes for any possible bugs from this work.

     Essentially we've been doing most of what SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU for
     files since a very long time because of the nasty interactions
     between the SCM_RIGHTS file descriptor garbage collection. So
     extending it makes a lot of sense but it is a subtle change. There
     are almost no places that fiddle with file rcu semantics directly
     and the ones that did mess around with struct file internal under
     rcu have been made to stop doing that because it really was always
     dodgy.

     I forgot to put in the link tag for this change and the discussion
     in the commit so adding it into the merge message:

  Cleanups:

   - Various smaller pipe cleanups including the removal of a spin lock
     that was only used to protect against writes without pipe_lock()
     from O_NOTIFICATION_PIPE aka watch queues. As that was never
     implemented remove the additional locking from pipe_write().

   - Annotate struct watch_filter with the new __counted_by attribute.

   - Clarify do_unlinkat() cleanup so that it doesn't look like an extra
     iput() is done that would cause issues.

   - Simplify file cleanup when the file has never been opened.

   - Use module helper instead of open-coding it.

   - Predict error unlikely for stale retry.

   - Use WRITE_ONCE() for mount expiry field instead of just commenting
     that one hopes the compiler doesn't get smart.

  Fixes:

   - Fix readahead on block devices.

   - Fix writeback when layztime is enabled and inodes whose timestamp
     is the only thing that changed reside on wb->b_dirty_time. This
     caused excessively large zombie memory cgroup when lazytime was
     enabled as such inodes weren't handled fast enough.

   - Convert BUG_ON() to WARN_ON_ONCE() in open_last_lookups()"
